Applesauce Raisin Biscotti

Posted on the 19 December 2013 by The Dreams Weaver

My third variation on my pumpkin biscotti this past weekend, applesauce raisin biscotti. Too many variations? NEVER! Each one has a completely different taste profile.
The applesauce in these keep the biscotti from getting too hard when they bake the last time after they are sliced.

What you will need:2 1/2 cups of flour1 cup of sugar1 tsp. baking powder1 tsp. cinnamonPinch of salt1 tsp. vanilla extract2 eggs1/2 cup of cinnamon raisin applesauce¼ cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl add flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cinammon.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs,, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture. Give it a quick stir to incorporate all of the ingredients, the dough will be a little crumbly.
Give the raisins a quick chop and them into the batter.
Last, add your applesauce, mix again and that is all.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into a long log, roughly 16 inches long by 6 inches wide. The log should be relatively flat, only about ½ inch high, otherwise you will have really big sliced of biscotti.
Baked for 20-25 minutes at 350°F, until the center is firm to the touch.
Let biscotti cool for 15 minutes. Use a serrated knife cut the log into 1 inch wide pieces. Turn the oven to 300°F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

Enjoy!
